Stop OneDrive syncing to save battery
When your laptop goes into battery saver mode, it disables functions that use a lot of power, such as email and calendar syncing. One tool that carries on syncing, though, is OneDrive, which can consume a lot of battery just when you need to preserve it.
To stop this happening, open OneDrive from your taskbar, then click the Settings icon (cog), followed by Settings. Click the Settings tab (1 in our screenshot below), then tick the box ‘Automatically pause sync when this device is in battery saver mode option’ 2. Press OK to confirm.
